So, next time you re-watch the first season, remember: the real Piper Kerman is sitting at home, probably relieved she didn't get the TV version of her life. She got a second chance, and she used it to tell a story that isn’t just about her.
It’s a story about justice, mercy, and the weird luck of being born into privilege. It’s a true story, but it’s also a mirror held up to our own assumptions. Pretty cool for a show that started with a lady smuggling a suitcase full of cash, right?
